Yesterday, along with record numbers of others, we voted in the presidential election. It was a historic election for a variety of reasons - our first African-American president, our first post-boomer president, the first real grassroots election utilizing social computing technologies - and all of that was exciting. But for us it also represented a first: the first time we biked to the polls. Amazing! But the weather was unusually warm (70) so we said why not?
In the picture you see me in post-vote mode. Part of the fun of the day was the free stuff that was offered to voters, and I was determined to take advantage of it. After voting we biked a few more miles over to Olga's, who was offering triple coupons for voters. And right nearby was the Starbucks, who offered free coffee to voters. I passed on the free Krispy Kreme doughnuts and free Ben and Jerry's ice cream - after all, there's only so much biking I can do to work off all this free stuff.
Best voting experience ever. And biking in November - priceless.
